| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode has me seriously questioning whether the Earth cult was worth even worrying about in the first place. Their counter to the Empire was just a pitiful use of suicide attacks while De Villier quietly makes his escape. Whatever Julian found on those computers better be big. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Lots of blood in this episode. Brilliantly portrayed how zealots in a cult will act. I doubt though that the Earth Church is through because that one guy De Viller got away and I'm sure he will be back. |
| Poplan sure knows a lot of very useful stuff. Wonder where he learned it? I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn't the last we'll see of the Earth Cult. |

| Wow, I was so blown back by that episode. I literally yelled out "HOLY FUCK!!!" when Julian flew threw the air and kicked that guy in the head. Then the whole thing with the cultists suicide attacking the Imperials was so bloody and visually stunning that I was in shock. I gotta go back and watch that again. |
  |
| The thing that freaked me out was when the empire was gased, the one soldier looked at one of the priests and he was smiling. |

| Wow so much blood =.= wonder what Julian found.. |

They certainly seem like "just a bunch of nutters", but, even from what we know already, what if that drug was put into major circulation? Massive uprisings by deranged cultists could make them a credible threat to the empire, or so it appears to me. You do wonder if those kamizake madmen could pilot spaceships in an organised manner though! On an unrelated note, I have difficulty deciding who was more badass out of the Imperial Armoured Grenadiers and Mashengo's sledgehammer punches. I guess the decision is only hard because the Rosenritters weren't given any screen time. ;) |

| Lots of blood in this episode. Those cultists are insane. |
 |
| There was so much going on in this episode, from that weak attempt against Wahlen's life to the whole assault on the Earth Church. Those Earth Cult people were something else, ready and eager to jump into death without so much as a second thought, and that De Villier couldn't spare those followers two cents as he quietly escaped. Lucky for Julian that Poplan knows a little more than how to handle the ladies, otherwise he, Mashengo and the rest would've ended up like those crazed fanatics. |
 |
| Very fast-paced episode. In the end the planet earth wasn't that important to the leaders of the earth cult. They probably have something bigger up their sleeves. But it was great to see Julian again :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| yeah i think i'm starting to see the resemblance with Star Wars :)...but this is so gory lol awesome episode...and i think this is the 1st time when i feel like watching more than 1 episode at a time :)... those earth cultists are f-in insane 5/5 PS:if only they'd put more BGM...this would be so much more awesome :( |

Confucius said: Religion is very scary... I think ideologies in general can provoke that kind of madness, not just religion. Secular ideologies do the same thing. But religion and ideologies also motivate people to do great things, so it's double-edged. On a lighter note, Julian kicking that guy was badass! |
Luthimal said: The empire could have planned their attack better. With just the slightest amount of research the base would have been revealed as a breeding ground for cultist assassins, and from there they could have bombarded it with the space fleet. Zero casualties. Or, if that was too much, maybe liberal use of flamethrowers down those thin halls, and some grenades before turning corners could have saved some men. He can't. The one-armed admiral was ordered to capture the leader as well as other important religious figures and bring them back to the capital, he's allow to kill if he fail to do so. |
| What the shiiiit Julian. That was some epic kicking. |
| That was intense. Lots of blood in this episode. Getting axed in the face seems like a not so good way of going out. |
 |
| The Earth Cult are a bunch of lunatics! |
| When you compare the action in this episode to the action in the Ovlessor episode, you realize that LOGH has come a long way since season 1. Each season has been light-years beyond the previous season. Osaka117 said: I literally yelled out "HOLY FUCK!!!" when Julian flew threw the air and kicked that guy in the head.

| Yeah, those Earth Cultists were nuts. Complete disregard for life makes for some freaky opponents, the Imperial troops were rightfully confused. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Holy Jesus, intense episode! I worried for Julian so much. RIP Imperial soldiers |
| That moment when the ensign or whatever saved Julian . . . Anyways, I wonder what good the Earth Cult is now that they lost probably more than 80% of their brainwashed goons. Though, who knows how many are out their, now that we know what they were doing. Too bad that the main bad guy probably got away. |
 |
| First with the assassination attempt on Wahlen, then the revelation of thyoxine drug the Earth leaders spread, and then everything seriously went to hell when the conflict began and escalated so quickly. LOGH may be about political wars in space throughout the universe, but it's when they're on foot where all hell seriously breaks loose (not to undermine the epic space battles). Poplan, Mashengo and Julian's crew really handled the situation well, and adapted quickly. They got the data, erased the bank, and escaped (minus the one casualty). Only one sentence crossed my mind at the end of this episode. "The Earth Cultists are freaking crazy, just crazy." Let's see where it goes from here. It's getting interesting again (well, actually, it always is). |
 |
| damn those are some hardcore fanatics some pretty gruesome scenes |
| Absolutely crazy episode, the scene where one of the cultists got axed in the head and the view moved down to show his skull split in two with his jaw hanging off, LIKE HOLY SHIT. I'm going to be really really sad if Julian's bodyguard dies... I forget his name because I'm too taken up by his charming smile. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Ok I extremely want these Earth cultists exterminated. Especially the dickface high bishop. Poisoning food to brainwash the pilgrims?? I hope the Earth cultists die horrible, horrible deaths. |
| That's one messed up cult o.O |
 |
| This episode was pretty good. I liked seeing all of those battles and the various tactics that the cultists used. |
 |
| Totally impressive episode, really great action and pretty grotesque if you ask me but damn this sure is getting better and better! |
 |
| Pretty crazy episode. Those earth Earth guys really didn't mind dying. Lots of gore in this episode with that guy's face being cut. This series is really inconsistent with its amount of gore lol |
 |
| Religion turn people to zombies... is that how it works? |
| This shit is crazy. |
 |
| This episode had me laughing way more than I should have. There's just something about the violence, it's so brutal but sometimes it's just so outrageous that there's just no other appropriate reaction for it. Lol'd so hard when Mashengo punched the cultist and he flew like 10 feet. Also despite how horrifying the suicide attacks got with the cultists, their constant neanderthal shrieking was hysteric. I lost it when the one guy ran up and broke his knife on the armor and was just like "Hehehehehe--THWACK!" But party time aside, the first half of this episode was absolutely creepy. They successfully pulled off the atmosphere of this wackadoodle cult and how the members in it were essentially drug induced slaves. |
 |
| Oh shit, I didn't know Julians had that much hops in him xD. My boy Louis truly deserves a raise for all the shit he's been through. |
 |
| Crazy episode, but much better than the previous one. Lol @ Julian walking like a boss while the rocks are falling yet magically no rock ever hits him. Julian give me your plot armor please. |
| They were fanatics, and died with a smile!!! :/ |
| Wow, such a gory episode |
| Jesus, this episode was insane. I would go crazy if I were in the imperial soldiers' shoes: all those cultists kamikaze'ing their way through the imperial troops. |
 |
| Punished Wahlen... he needs to lose an eye too, maybe some shrapnel in his forehead... |
